The World Health Organisation head has confirmed an attack on the main hospital in the western Sudanese town of Al-Fashir where nine people were killed and 20 others were wounded, including patients and their families.
The World Health Organisation Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who confirmed the incident, added that continued attacks on health across Sudan are deplorable.
He told uncovered Ugandan news reporters that “We urge for the protection of all patients and health professionals and for all attacks on and around health facilities to stop.”.

Furthermore, Al-Fashir, the capital of North Darfur, has been besieged since May by the Rapid Support Forces, which has blocked trade and aid deliveries to the region.
Since April 2023, Sudan has been ravaged by a war between two generals, Army Chief Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy, Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who heads the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
In conclusion, the war has left tens of thousands of civilians dead, displaced more than 11 million people, and plunged the East African country into the worst humanitarian crisis in recent years.
